Hello!
I have recently been attempting to overclock my PowerColor PCS+ HD 7950, and have a few questions about it. (Please note, mine is one of the older models without the boosting feature.)
I have looked all over the internet at overclocking tutorials for my model of graphics card, even for this specific one from powercolor, and it seems to be a completely normal thing to set your voltage to over 1.100v, sometimes 1.200v in afterburner, and the card won't heat up too much. My card's temps will go sky high and hit 80c if you even think about changing the core voltage to 1.100v. My stock core voltage in afterburner is 1031mv, and after looking around some, it seems like my specific gpu has an unusually low stock core voltage. And if that is an unusually low stock voltage, could any fellow HD 7950 owners tell me what their stock voltage is so I have something to go on here?
Here is one of the articles I was reading about overclocking this gpu.

Scroll down near the bottom to the overclocking section. It says this specifically. " When using the overclocked settings (1100/1355 @ 1.16 V) we jumped up a bit to 28 °C idle, and 54 °C load throughout the same testing."
Could my thermal paste be defective or something?
Thanks!
